samo II Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Sky sports saying Barnsley want him I can't access the story though http://www1.skysports.com/transfer-centre/ Apparently they are trying to 'hijack' our bid to keep him here with a £300k bid. I might be in a minority but if we are looking to bring him in for that sort of money I would not be displeased. Need a left back and he's young, keen and learning. If Del and Doc like him let's get him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catcott_red1 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 We've got to be a more attractive proposition than Barnsley surely?? He knows our squad and management team by now and surely we can pay more wages than barnsly. The only thing in thier favour is that barnsly is closer to manchester!!

Alex_BCFC Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 For a while I thought he was improving but the last 3 games he has struggled a lot. Not sure he is the long term answer so if Barnsley want him then I wouldn't be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Probably MC or his agent leaking a made up story to the press to bump his sale value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I like McGivern and would be pleased if we kept him. He's inconsistent and needs work defensively but he's young and, if he didn't have flaws in his game, a club like us wouldn't get a look in. If McInnes works hard with him we could have our best attacking full back in quite a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portishead Red Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Doesnt offer anything going forward, can't tackle and is far to slow at this level. I pray we dont sign him, would rather have JMC!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Doesnt offer anything going forward, can't tackle and is far to slow at this level. I pray we dont sign him, would rather have JMC!!! And why would that be?? he offers less going forward - is much much slower and loses posseion constantly! The only thing he does better is tackling (when he can get close enough) but then he is worse in the air.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthingexile Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Feel far mOre confident with McAllister tbh. I'm probably in a minority but I think we can find better than McG for McA's long term replacement! The left back position delivers many cult heroes Pearce, Dicks and- Scott, Barnard, Bell at city. I am just not inspired by the guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinnock Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Isn't he out of contract at the end of the season with Manc City? Keep the loan going, then snap him up in the summer... compensation needed as under 24? Rate him, but prefer to see this Foster (if any good) to play LB and then one of the RB's, Edwards, Spence or Ribs, playing RB.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Barnsley boss Keith Hill tells @footballheaven that he won't be signing Man City's Ryan Mcgivern. Out of his price range.#Bristol City bound Frankly, a club should keep its financial position a closely guarded secret not least because it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy; fans think oh well if they won't invest we are not going to progress so i won't bother with a season ticket. Apart from that they should, in any event, keep tight lipped. Regardless of whether our club can afford a certain player or not I would always hope they don't blurt out what Hill did at least not in such a self defeatist type manner whether he meant it literally or not.

Taylor10 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Still just can't make my mind up on him. Haven't been overly impressed but then he has age on his side and I am sure he will improve. If Del thinks he is worth signing then I trust him! Especially as it was Millen that loaned him in.

He seems to get ripped apart by pacey wingers and his positional sense is poor! If Del thinks there is something to work with I am sure he will look to keep him on, if not then fair enough.

Betelgeuse Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think he's steadily improving. He's part of a defence that has only let in 2 goals in 5 games so the signs are good. He also has age on his side so hopefully he continues to improve during his stay here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 one of the best aspect of our play has been the way weve played our way out of the defense, which more often than not i've noticed includes interlinking between McGivern, Kilkenny and Pearson. Not all bad from McGivern and would be happy to see him stay, with experience under his belt I reckon he could be good, learn to compensate for less pace and all that.

We can now actually keep the ball - instead of losing it because Mcallister keeps lumping the ball aimlessly Not to mention his complete loss of pace!! Never been my fave player to be honest, Macca is 34 soon and Ryan is 22 and time is on his side and I prefer the latter as he has the capacity to improve with experience as opposed to slowing up with advancing age like Macca has.

redcherryberry Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I also think Mcgviern aint got any pace. He's a tough fella though and has a winning mentality and we aint got many of them. He's younger than Wilson or Ribs. Loads of time to improve of his positional play. If we can get him for 300k or so i would be happy enough. Much better option than Macca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I may be in a minority here but i actually don't think he'll make it as a full back. As mentioned before, his positional sense is poor, lacks pace and offers littele going forward. To me he plays similarly to how fontaine plays at left back.

The guy can't tackle - a key requirement for a defender! tell me what he offers us..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge we didn't concede one goal in either of the matches you mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
